12/5/2023 estimated fulfilment.

Game sold separately.

For those who wants to get a discount for the pre-order. I’m still holding off until hopefully it comes as part of the eBay Plus Tuesday deals

The Nintendo Switch – OLED Model - The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Edition system features a design inspired by the Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom game, including the familiar Hylian Crest from the Legend of Zelda series on the front of the dock (game not included).

Stack with discounted eBay gift cards to sweeten the deal further :)

    So what's the real difference this and a regular OLED model switch?

    If it doesn't come with the game, is it simply a fancy looking Zelda branded Switch?

    • TheCad on 14/04/2023 - 21:19

      Correcto

    • Grish on 14/04/2023 - 21:20
      +16

      Yeah, it's even more of a rip off than the regular OLED.

      Even if it came with the game, which it should, it's still a rip off.

          I got all the Zelda 3DS editions, at the time for $289, and now they go for $700-$1,500 on eBay.

          This will skyrocket in value in the future.

            @RocketSwitch: Of course it will because Nintendo.

          • zaprct on 15/04/2023 - 07:38

            @RocketSwitch: Exactly. Check out the ozbargain deals from years ago for those limited 3DS models, similar comments. Now they're hard to get and people will pay a pretty penny for one especially in 'new' condition in the box

            e.g. this one for Majora's Mask edition, how many comments complained about the lack of a charger. I get why they complained because it was only starting to become a thing back then with phones as well, but people had no idea how much these would be worth years later: https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/204168

          • bargainatoraah on 15/04/2023 - 08:16

            @RocketSwitch: How many 3ds ones were there?

          • tightandcheap on 17/04/2023 - 09:33

            @RocketSwitch: I've always wondered if people actually buy at that price. Especially in AU where the market is significantly smaller than US.

            • RocketSwitch on 17/04/2023 - 11:26

              @tightandcheap: They do. I have had some really rare games that have gone for over $300 on Marketplace, that I got for like $10 back in the day for Wii U/GC. Lots of my 3DS games now go for a lot.

              In terms of systems, I haven't sold any of mine, as I like them. I watched a few on eBay that sold for just slightly under those prices.

      • ninnypoop on 14/04/2023 - 23:18

        I'm very happy with my oled switch. Use it all the time and enjoy it

        • serpserpserp on 15/04/2023 - 09:32

        With $60 off on this deal you can almost buy the game now … But agree scummy Nintendoh practice

    • AustriaBargain on 14/04/2023 - 21:59

      That's all it needs to be. Nintendo sold over 8 million Switches in the last quarter of 2022. They could make them in just poo brown colour at this price and it'd still sell well.

  • Budju on 14/04/2023 - 21:23

    I'm pretty salty I got an OLED switch from three brothers that arrived today for $426, but it arrived with a UK charger. I'd take this one for the surcharge.

    • MiscOzB on 15/04/2023 - 00:11

      Could probably return for refund if it wasn't advertised as a UK version.

      • Budju on 15/04/2023 - 00:27

        Yeah that's a stupidly annoying process. Meanwhile I've spent like $300 on games and peripherals.

        I've asked them today for a remedy, yet to hear back.

      • Budju on 15/04/2023 - 19:52

        Update on this, I'll be returning it.

        After looking into Nintendo Australia's policy on grey imports, I won't have warranty, so yeah nah.

      And then when the next gen comes out you're going to wait again for the next gen after?

      Geez, it's been 6 years.

        To be fair there's only a few switch exclusives worth anyone's time. Zelda doesn't count since it was on Wii U too

      I lost the fight, mine arrived today. I've already spent like $300 on games and a pro controller. I think you should HODL for the sake of your bank account.

        Yeah it’s a bit of a rabbit hole with the switch. Quickly goes from “I can spare $500” to dropping 2 grand on games and accessories

        • Budju on 15/04/2023 - 00:03

          Yeah I'm basically screwed at this point. Nintendo got me

        • BadGiraffe on 15/04/2023 - 22:43

          The bootleg Pro controllers on Ali Express are surprisingly good. I bought 2. I use them on both my Switch and PC.

        @XxBargainHuntaxX

        You are are still in early stages

        $10k + here and counting on games alone (not including controllers, accessories or multiple consoles) lol

        Someone please help me……

        • Emblex on 15/04/2023 - 23:06

          Are you playing all the games you buy?? Or collecting as well?

          • SpeedRunnerLink on 15/04/2023 - 23:12

            @Emblex: I try to play my games where possible but also collect.
            Maybe about 30% I've played.

            Also have a very extensive DS/3DS, Gamecube, Wii U and Gameboy collection.

            But the constant Amazon, eBay and retail details, it's hard to resist buying.

            And then those freaking limited editions just keep coming.

            • gtazn on 16/04/2023 - 00:22

              @SpeedRunnerLink: What would you say are the rarest/highest value games in your collection?

                @gtazn: Switch wise or anything?

                • gtazn on 16/04/2023 - 00:44

                  @SpeedRunnerLink: Out of everything.

                  • SpeedRunnerLink on 16/04/2023 - 01:10

                    @gtazn: Well my Gamecube stuff used to be most expensive/rare but now the 3DS stuff has gone bonkers

                    For example my Yo Kai Watch 3, Fire Emblem Fates limited set and Shin Megami Games have shot through the roof.

                    • gtazn on 16/04/2023 - 01:20

                      @SpeedRunnerLink: Damn, you weren't kidding! I guess that's what happens when the 3DS eShop shuts down.

                      • SpeedRunnerLink on 16/04/2023 - 01:21

                        @gtazn: Yeah. E shop shut down and 3DS games are hard to port over to another console as it's quite unique (touch screen, dual screen, 3D effect)

                        So it's a console that will most likely have its games stuck there.

                        And even if they do a remake of a 3DS game, it's not going to be the same at all. Unlike the Gamecube which can be ported quite easily for most titles.

                        Wii U stuff will hold some value too as it played with the gamepad and TV screen at the same time which is quite unique to that console.

    • corgi-runner on 15/04/2023 - 15:47

      Yeah, this should be $450 by now

  • ce5himm on 14/04/2023 - 21:35

    for some reason my code makes it 503.95, but i don't have enough 10% ebay gift card. even i do have it's just $10 cheaper than my current preorder with discount gift card. considering day one pickup or day 2?3?4? delivery, i'd pay extra $10.

      I mean if you're going to buy a Zelda themed Switch you're probably going to buy the game anyway.

      • t00tie on 15/04/2023 - 08:54

    $503.95 if you have this targeted code.

    Edit: Something else to note is that the past eBay Plus Tuesday OLED deals were done with Big W who no longer sells on eBay, so unless they team up with someone else it's probably not going to happen.

      I have the $60 off deal too… am now getting more tempted as I’ve been holding thinking I’ll grab it later in the year at a nicer price point but ~$500 is not too shabby to square one away.

      Or wait and see what Big-dubs brings to the party…

      EDIT: Checked some other deals from last six or so months. Will wait. Reckon will definitely be obtainable in the four hundreds. Whether we see a sub-$400 again on a special edition I’m not sure.

    • [Deactivated] on 15/04/2023 - 06:17

      Games haven't been included in special edition nintendo consoles for quite a while.

  • Gal on 15/04/2023 - 07:18

    How is this not a scam on nintendo's part. To not include the game, and to be peddling a premium Switch with an unofficial ETA of the Switch 2 to be next year or as early as late this year.

    • Guybrush57 on 15/04/2023 - 08:14

      To not include the game

      Nintendo has not included the game with special edition consoles for many many years.
      The exception being the recent mario odyssey console re-release.

      and to be peddling a premium Switch with an unofficial ETA of the Switch 2

      There has been no official announcement.
      And people have been claiming rumors of a "switch pro" or "switch 2" since basically the launch of the switch.

      • Guybrush57 on 15/04/2023 - 08:52

          Yeah, its always funny.
          Like, no shit new hardware/consoles are inevitable, but saying "its rumoured this year" every year for half a decade isn't predicting anything.

        • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2023 - 08:25

          Clearly you're (profanity) clueless then.
          People said it well before the switch oled was a thing.
          They've been claiming "upgraded internals" for years now.

            @[Deactivated]: Are you going to wait to see a new console at big W before you accept there's a new Nintendo console on the horizon. Go ahead and buy the premium switch today then. That will show the imaginary people in your head.

            • [Deactivated] on 18/04/2023 - 11:44

              @Gal: Of course theres going to be a new console.
              They're not going to sell the switch for a century.

              As Guybrush57 said, and I know you read it because you disliked it:
              "When a Switch successor does get announced, watch people gloat about how they "predicted" it."

              And I said (which you also disliked):
              "Yeah, its always funny.
              Like, no shit new hardware/consoles are inevitable, but saying "its rumoured this year" every year for half a decade isn't predicting anything."

              But saying "xyz is just around the corner" when you have literally no evidence to back it up is ridiculous.

              I never said I was buying the console.
              But just because YOU don't see the value in it, doesn't mean others dont.
              And if I lived my life always worried about the "next thing", I wouldn't own anything.

    Absolutely lame not including the game, and sort sighted. Many people have very strong connections to whatever the bundled game was with their SNES/Mega Drive/N64/etc. Just feels like profiteering.

      Absolutely lame not including the game, and sort sighted.

      They've been doing it for years with a few select exceptions.
      Clearly not short sighted if its working.

      Many people have very strong connections to whatever the bundled game was with their SNES/Mega Drive/N64/etc.

      Nintendo has changed how it operates to maximize profits, who woulda guessed.

      Just feels like profiteering.

      So…doing what basically every large business does?
      Of course they're trying to profit as much as they can. They continue to do this because it works.
      Exact same reason games are riddled with $20 cosmetics and battle passes that end every few months.

      • caitsith01 on 18/04/2023 - 11:45

        None of which means it's not lame or short sighted.

          I'm sure you know far better than the company worth over 50,000,000,000 USD
          Especially when they've been doing this "game not included" special edition thing for years without issue.
